Objective:To investigate the risk factors of infection with polymyxin resistant and carbapenemase-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(PR-CRKP). Methods:A total of 170 patients with CRKP infection admitted in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from July 2020 to October 2023 were enrolled,including 123 cases of CRKP infection and 47 cases of PR-CRKP infection. The general conditions,exposure of antibacterial drugs 6 months before admission,laboratory test indicators at admission,antibacterial drug use when target bacteria were detected,length of hospital stay and time of invasive procedures in two groups were retrospectively analyzed. The risk factors of PR-CRKP infection were analyzed with univariate and multivariate logistic regression. SPSS 26.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results:Univariate analysis showed that compared with the CRKP group,the average age of patients in PR-CRKP group was older( Z = -2.186, P = 0.029),the proportion of patients with exposure history to semisynthetic penicillins,carbapenems,polymyxins,and quinolones 6 months before admission was higher( χ 2= 3.930,5.414,11.939,8.478,all P < 0.05),the proportion of infections diagnosed at admission and blood urea nitrogen levels( χ 2= 7.268, Z = -2.406, P = 0.007 and 0.016)was higher,the hemoglobin level( t = 2.641, P = 0.009)was lower,the length of hospital stay was longer,the rates of tracheal intubation,urinary catheter,and deep vein catheterization were higher( Z = -4.243,-4.660,-5.341,-4.583,all P < 0.001),the duration of carbapenem and polymyxin B use was longer( Z = -4.757,-7.554,both P < 0.001),the proportion of combined quinolone-resistant Escherichia coli(QREC)and carbapenem-resistant organism(CRO)infections and bloodstream infections,and the rate of admission to intensive care units was higher( χ 2 = 33.737,42.041,5.426,12.991, P < 0.05 or < 0.01). Multivariate analysis showed that time to polymyxin B use( OR = 1.179, 95%CI 1.059-1.312, P = 0.003),combined QREC infection( OR = 5.357, 95%CI 2.100-13.669, P < 0.001)and combined CRO infection( OR = 3.302, 95%CI 1.146-9.514, P= 0.027)were independent risk factors for PR-CRKP. Conclusion:Prolonged use of polymyxin B is an independent risk factor for PR-CRKP,and mixed QREC and CRO infection can increase the risk of PR-CRKP.

This study aims to investigate the effect and mechanism of total triterpenes of Euphorbium in treating rheumatoid arthritis(RA). The rat model of RA was established with Freund's complete adjuvant(FCA). Male rats were randomly assigned into control, model, Tripterygium glycosides(7.5 mg·kg~(-1)), and low-, medium-, and high-dose total triterpenes of Euphorbium(32, 64, and 128 mg·kg~(-1), respectively) groups, with 10 rats in each group. In other groups except the control group, 0.2 mL FCA was injected into the right hind toe. Rats in the intervention groups were administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage, and the control group and the model group with the same volume of 0.5% CMC-Na solution once a day. During the treatment period, the swelling degree of the hind paw was measured and the arthritis was scored until day 30. At the end of drug administration, the pathological changes of the joint tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. The content of malondialdehyde(MDA), glutathione(GSH), and Fe~(2+) and the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) in the joint tissue were measured by biochemical colorimetry. RT-PCR was performed to determine the mRNA levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2), glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4), and acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4(ACSL4) in the joint tissue. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of Nrf2, Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1(Keap1), heme oxygenase-1(HO-1), NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1(NQO1), SOD2, GPX4, and ACSL4 in the joint tissue. The results showed that the treatment with Tripterygium glycosides(7.5 mg·kg~(-1)) and total triterpenes of Euphorbium(32, 64, and 128 mg·kg~(-1)) alleviated the swelling degree of bilateral hind limbs, decreased the arthritis score, reduced joint tissue lesions and the content of MDA and Fe~(2+) in the joint tissue, and increased GSH content and SOD activity. Furthermore, the interventions up-regulated the protein and mRNA levels of Nrf2 and GPX4, down-regulated the protein and mRNA levels of ACSL4, and up-regulated the protein levels of Keap1, NQO1, HO-1, and SOD2 in the Nrf2/HO-1/GPX4. In summary, the total triterpenes of Euphorbium can treat RA by inhibiting lipid peroxidation and abnormal ferroptosis, which may involve the Nrf2/HO-1/GPX4 signaling pathway.
